Hello everyone,
did anyone experience problems with LAN connection accessing the Internet resources after update from 2.224 to a later build while wifi connection works fine?
I had a fully functional setup of Volumio 2.224 on a Raspberry Pi with Hifiberry DAC plus pro and decided to update it to the latest build, so I formatted and flashed the SD card (2.224 had known update issues).
Prior to the update, I used LAN connection, wifi was off, LAN used static ip and no alternative DNS.
After the update, I set up the same configuration in Volumio and found out there’s no more access to external resources (radios, plugins) while I was able to see and use the Volumio UI at the expected address.
Then I decided to try custom DNS but no luck. Surprisingly, after I enabled wifi in Volumio and connected it, Volumio instantly gained access to the radios and plugins, with no custom DNS needed while I still accessed its UI through LAN address.
As an additional experiment, I turned off wifi while accessing a web radio and got “Could not resolve host: yp.shoutcast.com”.
Any ideas on what to check / possible known issues of later builds?
More details on network:
the local network consists of a wired router connected to the provider, a wifi router with built-in LAN switch and some other wired and wireless devices. I understand it’s not the simplest set possible, but it is tuned in way making all wifi and wired addresses belong to the same 192.168.1.XXX (was done to avoid any possible connectivity problems and that configuration and devices present did not change for a long time).
During the experiments, automatically provided Volumio wifi network address was 192.168.1.17; static wired address was 192.168.1.111 (as it used to be for a long time; so was 255.255.255.0 mask) so I didn’t expect wifi to “help” accessing external resources but in fact it somehow helps.
Thanks.
